Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,196 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 849 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The ATR-72 taxied to runway 07 at V C Bird International Airport (TAPA) and commenced the take-off roll. The aircraft used 719 m of runway, representing 28 % of the available length, and lifted off at 124 kt. Ambient temperature was 31 °C with a wind of 23 kt from 079°, providing a 21 kt head-wind component and an 8 kt cross-wind component.
Climb began directly overhead TAPA, with the airplane accelerating from 1,039 ft asl to 6,247 ft asl, an altitude gain of 5,208 ft achieved in 4 minutes while covering 13 nm.
Level cruise was established 8 nm west of Saint John’s and was maintained for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft progressed 44 nm.
Descent was initiated 6 nm south of Boyd’s, descending from 6,259 ft asl to 1,470 ft asl, a loss of 4,789 ft in 6 minutes and spanning 19 nm.
The final approach to runway 07 at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (TKPK) was flown from the south-west on a heading of 56.0° at 4 nm and 1,301 ft agl. The aircraft then descended from 1,345 ft agl to 54 ft agl in 133 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing was executed on runway 07, whose length is 2,196 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 120 kt. Touchdown occurred 420 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 96 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 139 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 8.9 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 29 °C, wind 46 kt from 148°, yielding a 46 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component. Total landing distance measured 1,020 m, equivalent to 46 % of the runway, and the rollout was slightly misaligned by 10.9 m from the centreline.
In total, the flight covered 85 nm, taking 22, and consumed 319 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 entered final approach to runway 09 at CYYJ Victoria International Airport from the west on a heading of 106.0° at 4 nm and 1,504 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. Descent continued from 1,577 ft agl to 62 ft agl in 105 seconds. Local weather was 22 °C with wind 9 kt from 040°, giving a crosswind component of 8 kt and a headwind component of 4 kt.
At the threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 135 kt and a good threshold height. The flare resulted in a touchdown point 83 m beyond the touchdown zone.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 128 kt, a rate of -176 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good. The landing was on runway 09, whose length is 2,121 m.
Rollout alignment was very good and the total landing distance was 1,639 m, representing 77 % of the runway.
To improve the score, aim to touch down nearer the aim point, approximately 300 m (1,000 ft) from the threshold, which will reduce the touchdown overshoot and shorten the rollout distance. Refining flare timing to achieve this position will help keep landing distance well within runway limits.
